REFLECTIONS OF GREATNESS - Jesse Barboza
of Hyannis shadowboxes in the mirror at David's
Gym in South Dennis where he is training for a
USA Olympic Amateur Boxing tournament on Sept.
1in Hyannis.
into it for myself."
While in school, Barboza was competitive but
didn't enter the ring. "When I got out of high
school I needed something to compete in," he
explained of his decision to don the gloves.
It has proven richly rewarding in satisfaction
and a little "gold."Barboza is the New England
Golden Gloves Super Heavyweight Champion.
At first glance, Barboza presents an intimi-
dating figure, arms like tree trunks, with one
bearing a tattoo of fighting legend Muhammad
Ali, all on a six-foot super heavyweight frame.
When he starts talkingabout his love of boxing
though, his eyes shine like a kid at Christmas,
albeit with fierce determinationmixed in.
"It gives me some type of direction," he said.
"I'm in and out of the gym, so busy I can't get
in a lot of trouble."
Barboza credits boxingwithhelping him
maintain a positive focus, aswell as get into su
preme shape. Fellowfighter Andrew Nevsky of
Russia, who is visiting Hyannis on a work and
travel visa, shares Barboza's sentiments.
Nevsky,the New England Middleweight
champ, will also take to the ring in the Sept. 1
tournament. "Boxing is very popular in Russia,
especially in my city," he said. "I want to win."
Other boxers slated to appear are Deme-
terus Andrade, the USA 152-pound National
Champ, Harlen Howard, a lightweight, and
Sean Delorey, a middleweight.
Asked about his upcoming fight and what
his opponents should know, Barboza offered
a withering stare and said simply, "When they
come see, they're gonna know."
"A Night of Champions" USA Amateur Olympic Boxing is
scheduled tor Sept. 1at the Four Points Sheraton Hyannis
Resort. Events begin at 8 p.m. and tickets are S60/VIP Gold
Circle,S50/VIP, and $25 General Admission. Tickets can be
purchased at various locations and at the door. For more
information call David's Gym at 508-394-7199.

"I'm pumped," said Nucci as he anxiously
waited for the races to begin.
Bearing a Superman tattoo on a well-devel-
oped bicep, Chris Cochran of Sandwich, also on
the Barnstable team, was psychinghimself up
for the Iron Man, a race that involved running,
swimmingand paddling.
"I'm a little nervous," admitted Cochran.
"But also excited. I like seeing what everyone
else really brings."
Although the competition is primarilyabout
friendly rivalry,teams do hope for a win.
"It's about bragging rights," explained
Barnstable's Larissa Brewster of Centerville.
"Bragging rightsis the best thing."
In the end, the guards from the National Seashore
took first place in Division A, reserved for teams
from beaches with larger waves and rougher waters.
In Division B were teams from Cape beaches
with calmer seas, though the guards were no
less focused. Falmouth took the top spot, with
Barnstable turning in an impressive third place
finish. Barnstable also placed third in the Iron-
woman contest and the Women's SwimRescue.
The competition is held at a different beach
each year.The 2006 event marked the first time
it was held at Craigvillein eight years.

Close, but not quite
in CIREC
Last week, the Patriot high-
lightedactivitiesbyparticipants
intheCape&IslandsRenewable
EnergyCollaborative (CIREC),
including a call for the public,
organizations,agencies,andoffi-
cialstowork togetheraregional
goalofelectricityindependence.
Though generallyaccurate, the
article suggested that CIREC
itself supports a resolution
proposed for adoption by the
Cape Light Compact.
CIREC is a nonprofit , par-
ticipateentitythroughwhich
representativesfromlocalbusi-
nesses, nonprofits , county
agencies, educational institu-
tions, andresearch centers are
workingtogether to transform
the energybasisof this region,
but both its virtual nature
and its roster of participants
preclude it from taking posi-
tions on specific policy issues
or projects.
Individual participants do,
however, express opinions on
energy-related issues. And
some of those in the recent
Patriot article were mine and
minealone-but theymeritseri-
ousconsideration byresidents,
businesses,andelected andap-
pointed officials in Barnstable
and other local communities.
In particular, readers are en-
couraged to reviewaresolution
submitted
^
to the Cape Light
Compact in July,in the wake of
contentious discussions by its
GoverningBoard overthe Cape
Windproject and in advance of
its plans to revisit the topic in
September.
Theresolution,whichmaybe
viewed at www.cirenew.info/in-
dependence.htm, was drafted
to encourage the Compact to
establish a proactive, "beyond
Cape Wind"position on renew-
able energy while reiterating
its obligations to represent
the interests of all consumers,
operate transparently, and al-
low public participation in its
decision-makingprocesses.

Although Lyon was a member of
the BHS Boys Varsity track team,
he prefers cross-country, as he is
competitively stronger in distance
running.
"I was not blessed with the ability
to sprint," he said. "As the race gets
longer, I get better."
Even so, Lyon has little desire to
run a full marathon like Boston.
"26 miles? I can drive that," he
said with a wry smile, though he
noted that Boston is "the ultimate
race."
While he may yet run that race,
his focus right now is on preparing
for school and enjoying the rest of
the summer. Looking at his future at
Dartmouth, Lyon hopes to find him-
self surrounded by good friends the
way he was at BHS. Many of those
pals turned out to see Lyon run last
Sunday.
"I got messages saying, 'I saw you'
and 'I cheered you on,'" said Lyon.
"It was pretty cool."
Y-D Red Sox reign supreme"
Team captures
CCBL Title for
second time in
three years
By Kathleen Szmit
kszmit@barnstablepatriot.com
For the second time inthree
years the Y-D Red Sox cap-
tured the coveted Cape Cod
Baseball League Title. On
Sunday afternoon the men in
red beat the Wareham Gate-
men 5-1, much to the delight
of the more than 8,000 home-
field fans in attendance.
Solid pitching and strong
defense were the names of the
game for the Sox,withpitcher
Terry Boyle goingfour perfect
innings with six strikeouts
before allowing a hit from
Wareham in the fifth.
Although Boyle seemed
a bit shaken upon return-
ing in the sixth, any come-
back on Wareham's part was
stopped cold by the stellar
Y-Ddefense.Brad Emaus and
Buster Posey turned in ter-
rific back-to-back plays with
Posey robbing Wareham's
Ryan Gotcher of a hit by
throwing him out at first.
Emaus followed with a su-
per diving stop at second base
on a sharp ground ball from
Diallo Fon. With impressive
form, Emaus threw to first
basemen Jordan Pacheco for
the out at first, the second out
of the inning.
The win caps an amazing
season for the team, which
finished its regular run at
28-16, including a nine-game
winning streak.
